What medicine can be used in case of an emergency when blood pressure becomes very high?

Asked by Male, 54 · 21 days ago

If blood pressure becomes very high suddenly (for example above 180/120), it may be a hypertensive emergency and should be treated under medical supervision. Doctors may sometimes prescribe fast-acting medicines such as Labetalol, nicardipine, clevidipine, or nitropruside to lower blood pressure quickly, but these should only be taken if already advised by a doctor. Seek immediate medical attention if your BP becomes very high.
